Chansiri on why he sacked Tony Pulis

Chansiri on the sacking of Tony Pulis

 

We need to start from the beginning.

 

I interviewed him over a year ago but I was still not convinced at that time about his style of play.

But this time when I interviewed him, I felt he had experience and we needed someone strong. At the beginning we need to stay up and try and get in the play-offs if we can. But the priority was to stay up. He convinced me he could do that with this squad.

 

We talked with him one by one about every player that we have. He studied our players and squad.

He convinced me that he could help and that our squad was good enough to keep us in the league.

Of course, I understand we needed more players to strengthen.

 

I also told him that I don't like the English old school. He said he would change his tactics and formation depending on the opponents.

 

I told him I was very straight forward and that's what I want from all my managers. I told him he could contact me all the time by telephone or text.

 

He told me he would normally have dinner once a week with the owner when he was at MIddlesbrough. We can't do that at the moment. We said we need to get to know each other more.

 

"Since we played four, five, six games I started to think he is not the right one because of the way we play, the way he treated our players. But he’s good with the press. He knows how to make the press like him."

 

 

I felt at this moment he was a good fit to help us and that's why I brought him in.

 

We played four, five, six games and I started to think whether he was the right one for us because of the way he plays and the way he treats our players.

 

He was always good with the press and praise the fans. He knows how to make the press like him, which is good for him, but of course he can't damage the club.

 

I talked to my team and they said give him more chance and maybe he would do better.

 

I said 'okay, I will give more of a chance' but of course I still need to make a decision whether he is the right man by the end of the month. If he is not the right man, he should not recruit any players.

 

He text me and said he had been here for three weeks and would give me a summary of the club. He said 'we are a big club with big potential but the results don't lie over the past 12 months, the club's record has been poor and doesn't have identity and the whole structure is unbalanced.' It made my very surprised because we talked about the players at the interview.

 

When the players were not winning, he was saying something different and that the squad was unbalanced but they could still improve by bringing in the right players.

 

He can talk to me directly because he has my direct phone but he didn't like to talk to me.

 

He worked with our recruitment team on who he wants to bring in on loan or transfer. I said do it. Our people always start to work on the players a few weeks ago. Some we sent offers in until the window opened. I still allowed him to do what he wants.

 

 

I don't understand why he didn't call me. I tried to text him all the time. I told him to report to me at least once a week.

I wanted to talk to him but he didn't want to talk to me.

 

He said the squad didn't buy into his methods. That surprised me.

He told me he could play many styles depending on the opponent.

 

 

The way he said things to me told me he had no confidence at all, that he doesn’t know how to manage this team.

 

We arranged to talk after the Coventry game and after that call, it was late in Thailand but nothing came back. I asked my people to tell him do you want a meeting or not?

 

I am not the one who refused the meeting.

 

I asked him how I could help. I said it would be better to keep a good relationship. His lawyer sent me something that made him look good and me bad.

 

We spoke about mutual consent, make it easy. He never think about his staff, only about himself. I told him he needed to solve for his people as well.

 

Monday morning my lawyer had to go to the hospital, so my people told him we would talk after Tuesday’s game. In the morning he told my people that because my lawyer was busy and to come back about mutual consent on Tuesday.

He got mad. He said it had to be now. He said my players don’t look good in training, maybe they told them.

So Chansiri didn't like PULISBALL

So maybe under the impression that signing someone was not necessary for survival this season and possibly only willing to dabble in the transfer market if the right player came along at the right price with next season in mind...

Thank god they did.

I just...it shows the naivety.

 

What do these so-called advisers exactly do?

 

Anyone who has been around the game for a few years will know exactly what you get with Pulis. He was never going to go from hoofball to gurgenpressing.

He told me: "get Rory Delap in ASAP"

tried to text him! Why not ******** phone him yourself. 

[WalthamOwl]

Didn’t like the way Pulis played. Surely anyone that knows anything about the game knows that Pulis has played that way for his whole management career.

If the boss says to call, you should call to be fair. They shouldn't have to chase you...

[WAWAWUTO17]

Chansiri is no saint but it sounds like Pulis has tried to make him look like a right bell end.

 

Not a fan of that.

Time zone difference. Will need to arrange a time.

 

Pulis even said it was his own fault he hasn't contacted Chansiri.
